Helpful Tip: On area rugs with no backing the design pattern is visible on the underside of the rug.

Pile Height:

Pile height refers to the face of your rug as measured from the

top of the yarns down to its foundation. Pile height is not the total thickness of the rug. The thickness of a rug is the pile height + foundation + backing material (if used). In general you can add approx. 1/8  ¼ inch to the pile height to determine the total thickness of a rug.
